Honolulu Fish Auction Tour
Saturday, March 10, 2012 6 a.m. – 7:30 a.m.
We’re offering this popular event once again – if you’ve not done this tour, you’ve been missing out! We’ll meet at 6:00 a.m. to greet the sun and the Honolulu fishing fleet as the boats come rolling in! Dr. John Kaneko, Program Director of the Hawaii Seafood Council, will guide the group on a walking tour of the Honolulu Fish Auction and Pier 38 Fishing Village waterfront. During the visit you’ll see fishing vessels and the variety of Hawaii’s fresh ocean fish. Learn about how they are harvested, handled, inspected, quality graded and sold through the country’s only fresh tuna auction. Find out what is done to manage Hawaii’s fisheries and what makes Hawaii Seafood the “best in class” in terms of quality, safety and sustainability. Come support our local responsible fisheries. After absorbing all that information, you can end the event with a great take-away breakfast on your own (including fish just brought in on the boats) from nearby Nico’s at Pier 38 – one of Honolulu’s little treasures.
